Thanks for visiting my blog which I started to stretch my creativity and to share my enthusiasm for paper crafting. I make handmade cards mainly but do venture into other paper decorations and products at times. Patterned paper is my weakness but just recently cutting dies have taken over as a design driver.

I used an all over leaf stamp in two colours to meet the hand made background challenge this month at Lets Craft and Create. The shape of the leaves was similar to a tree metal die in my tool kit so that matched in well. The fallen leaves were suitable for a Sympathy card and this became the sentiment.

I love meeting the challenge of using a sketch. This time at CCC Digi the sketch is a good one and fitted well with the sponsored image. I used some new circle flower die shapes and some favourite colours. The rose background paper reflects the flower shaped dies and the roses in the artwork.

I'm providing some specific tourist cards for our local beach ..... Mangawhai , Northland NZ. The Museum shop has a full stand of my cards. So far I've made a few dozen beach style and some NZ themes too. This card is a sample of the beachy ones , more to follow when I remember to photograph them before taking them to the shop. Summer is almost over so it should slow down when the tourists thin out.
